Administrators will define storage requirements, such as performance and availability, for the virtual machines running on a VSAN cluster. Administration of a cluster and implementation of storage policies is issued using the vSphere 5.5 Web Client.

Each host in the VSAN cluster requires at least one solid-state drive that is used for caching the reads and also buffering writes, along with at least one hard disk drive. The hard drive is for the actual data...
